1. A system comprising:
- a first device receiving input signals comprising broadband signals and broadcast signals at a first frequency;
a second device in communication with the first device, wherein the second device generates packetized signals from the broadband signals and modulates the packetized signals to generate modulated signals at a second frequency; and
a third device in communication with the first and second devices, wherein the third device provides combined signals to a distribution device located within a premises via a hardwire connection, wherein the combined signals comprise the broadcast signals at the first frequency and the modulated signals at the second frequency, and wherein a portion of the combined signals are configured for separation from another portion of the combined signals and distribution via the distribution device to a wireless transmitting device of the premises.
